In this task, there is a passage with 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions with the fewest possible words. The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.
Tutankhamun was a king who governed Egypt around 1361 BC. He was very young when he died and governed Egypt for only nine years. Although he was unimportant compared to many of the great governors of Egypt, Tutanhamun is now one of the most famous names in ancient Egyptian history.
More than 100 years ago, archaeologists(考古学家) were uncovering surprising finds in a dusty valley near the River Nile called The Valley of the Kings. By the 1900s, many people felt that all the hidden treasure in the valley had been found. However, one British archaeologist , Howard Carter, was sure that the tomb of Tutankhamun was still lying undiscovered in the valley. With the support of his rich patron(资助人) , Lord Carnarvon, he searched for eight long years.
Finally, in November 1922, one of Carter’s workmen discovered some stone steps leading down under the ground. Could this be the tomb they had been looking for?
Carter and his workers dug down, uncovering more and more steps. Finally they came to a door. On the door was the name they had been hoping to find—Tutankhamun. Carter and Carnarvon were excited, but they knew that they could still be disappointed. Almost all of the tombs discovered in the valley so far had been broken into by thieves, and much of the priceless treasure stolen. The archaeologists broke through the door and continued down a long corridor to another door. Carter carefully made a small hole and pushed a candle through. As the light shone into the room inside, he could hardly believe his eyes. He saw a gold throne covered in jewels, gold chariots, and many beautiful vases and statues.
During more searching over the next few months they discovered another three rooms, all full of treasure. One held the most incredible find of all: the golden coffin containing the mummy , or preserved body, of the young king. Carter had discovered the most complete and valuable collection of ancient Egyptian treasure ever found. His long search was over.
Where did archaeologists uncover surprising finds in the late 1800s?
选项
答案
In The Valley of the Kings.
解析
是一道细节题,提问的是地点。文章中有具体的地名提示。如果不能准确领会好下面这个句子,而是全部照写出来,就显得繁琐而累赘。More than 100 yearsago,archaeologists(考古学家)were uncovering surprising finds in a dusty valley near theRiver Nile called The Valley of the Kings.
